Asellus (アセルス Aserusu?) is one of the main protagonists of SaGa Frontier. Her home region is Shrike.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Asellus appears as a human woman with green hair.
Personality[]
Story[]
Prior to the events of the game, Asellus was a human woman who had been run over by a carriage and was on the brink of death.
Asellus was saved from certain death by a transfusion of Mystic blood, and became the first and only Human/Mystic half-breed on this world. Athough she is grateful to Orlouge, the Mystic whose blood saved her life, Asellus wonders whether she is really Human or Mystic.
When she woke up, she had become the world's first half-mystic. Orlouge called her and ordered Ildon to watch her, while ordering one of his princesses, White Rose, to teach her the mystic customs. Asellus eventually decides to run away when Ciato mentions a guy who could take her out of Facinaturu. White Rose goes with her, and the two manage to escape. She tries to go back to her home, but finds out that twelve years have passed ever since her accident.
Gameplay[]
As a Half-Mystic, she has the ability to gain stats and skills just like other Humans, but can also absorb Monsters like a Mystic. When she uses Mystic Sword, Gloves, or Boots, she turns into a full-blooded Mystic. When this happens, she will no longer be able to spark any Sword or Gun arts for the remainder of the battle, but can use the absorbed Monster abilities linked to her Mystic equipment.
With the combination of nearly endless stat growth from her Human half and the increased parameters and abilities of absorbed Monsters from her Mystic half, Asellus can essentially become one of the most powerful and versatile characters in SaGa Frontier.
Endings[]
Note:To get Human and Half-Mystic ending when you go back to Facinataru go to the Tailor Shop and a quick cutscene tells Asellus that Gina was kidnapped and that Asellus wants to save her after she exits the tailor and this will lock you to the Human and Half-Mystic endings(but there are reports of people saving Gina but getting the full Mystic ending)
Human Ending: Never use Asellus' Mystic equipment and save Gina from the Dark Labryinth and beat Orlouge and it will shows an old Gina visiting Asellus' grave and Ildon, White Rose, Mesarithim and Rei talk about how Asellus' denied eternal life and shows Asellus' life from being old and showing her grown-up children to being young and the final picture being of Asellus', White Rose, Mesarithim, Princess Lion and Rei in a picture and the pictures shows she has reddish hair as her natural hair and one interesting thing is that she is shown being married to a man but when she reads the hentai book in Shrike she is flustered by it so it may suggest she actually Bisexual.
Half-Mystic Ending: Either A)Never or rarely use Asellus' mystic equipment but don't save Gina or B)Constantly using Asellus' Mystic equipment and save Gina(remember to stop by her house before going to Orlouge to register the event of you saving Gina or it will probably cause you to get the Full Mystic Ending) and it will show Gina as an old lady speaking to her grandchildren and being told by her (presumeably) own child telling her she will be a grand mother and after the grandchildren and child leave Ildon, White Rose (there are more I don't remember) and a (presumeably and i'm not talking about the Half-Mystic Asellus' part) Half-Mystic Queen Asellus' and the picture from the Human Ending of Asellus, White Rose, Mesarithim, Princess Lion and Rei in a photograph and in the ending Fuse's Case File on Asellus she is shown as being a Half-Mystic meaning this ending could be the official one.
Full Mystic Ending: To unlock this ending, always use Mystic Equipment, don't save Gina and it will now show Gina in royal clothes and Asellus teleports in and talks about conquering all mystics and even humans and mechs(what about monsters Asellus, why won't you conquer them to?) and getting 200 princesses and Gina being the first one and Rastaban teleports in and would like to serve Asellus and asks about what to do with Orlouge's princesses and she says they should be laid to sleep in their coffins forever(Sh*t luck White Rose, hope Princess Lion can escape seeing she is a good fighter) and Ildon appears and Ildon says she is worse than Orlouge and Asellus tells him to go away and right before he does so he says that Facinataru is going to ruin and it ends with a Asellus laughing a noblewoman laugh indicating the incoming tyranny.

Trivia[]
- There is an unused sprite in SaGa Frontier featuring a naked Asellus. This sprite was going to be used in a cutscene where Asellus and White Rose would jump into Kurenai while escaping, which would burn their clothes. They both survive due to their Mystic blood and end up in Mosperiburg.
- Asellus's story is the most famous among the SaGa community due to large sections of dialog and plot that were removed prior to the final release of the game. Many of these additional scenarios would have taught Asellus that just as there are evil Mystics, there are also evil Humans. Neither species is exempt from doing cruel, callous things to other beings and it is this revelation (along with several others) that represents an astonishing amount of character development for such a tormented, tragic character. These removed scenes are also why Asellus's quest features the most possible endings; her final decision, made by the player, was originally intended to be modeled after everything she had learned from visting various places.
- Due to the removed scenes and dialog, Asellus's final decision in the retail release seems more forced and sudden rather than something determined by her experiences. The remaster restores all of these missing scenes and text in their entirety.
- Despite the removal of the previously mentioned scenes, the event where Asellus and White Rose would survive naked in Mosperiburg and then meet with Virgil to get some replacement clothing actually still exists in the U.S. version's data. Through hacking, it is possible to witness the cutscene, however the text for it is in Japanese, meaning it was discarded prior to any translation work.
- The event has been added to SaGa Frontier Remastered and is considered the canon route for escaping Facinaturu.
- There is an unused theme for Asellus.
- Contrary to popular belief, Asellus and Princess White Rose are not an item[1]. Asellus's confused feelings were speculated to be the aftereffect of having Orlouge's blood in her.[1]
